Bug Description

Since version 11.0 in Precise, Firefox suddenly stopped displaying its UI in Finnish. The appropriate localisation package (firefox-locale-fi) is installed, so the issue is obviously somewhere else, but I have been unable to determine where. The rest of the GNOME desktop operates in Finnish as expected.

This is because you've got a third party package installing something in to /usr/lib/firefox/extensions, which is preventing our package from making that a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions, where all the language packs are installed.

This should never have been accepted in to the archive, at all. It's widely known that we don't accept any Firefox extensions in to the archive (except under special circumstances), as they incur a significant maintenance cost for our stable releases.

In future, can people ensure that I'm consulted on anything which touches Firefox.

Excuse-me? 1) This extension is very much needed to access public services in Estonia. 2) The extension is not imported from Debian. 3) Before assuming that some third-party plug-ib did it, please get your facts straight.

As discussed over IRC, it appears that the issue was esteid-browser-plugin installing itself in the wrong path. Could someone please file a bug, rather than blindly remove packages, next time, especially if the issue is so trivial to fix? Thanks!
